DG834 v2 firewall hassles.

I've got a DG834 v2 that, until now, I have only used on a single-IP address ADSL service in NAT mode.

In this mode, the firewall configuration page seems to set up port maps to allow external machines to connect to services running on one of my privately addressed machines. I successfully used this to allow http, smtp and ssh connections to my FreeBSD machine.

I've now switched to a multi-IP address service so I've switched NAT off and configured the LAN side with public IP addresses. The problem is, I can't seem to allow access to any service running on any machine with a public IP address.

My allocation is a /29, with usable IP addresses running from .153 to .157, with the router being on .158.

I have created a rule to say "Allow Any service to connect to x.y.z.153 from Any WAN address", but no dice.

The default action of the router is to block everything, but the rule I created should take higher priority.

I've added another "block everything" rule with logging enabled, but it doesn't show my blocked attempts to connect from outside.

Anyone know what the deal is with this router?
